Follow the Wind

I was going for something more childish here, with the rhythm, rhyme pattern and metaphors. It's different than what I usually do, but I figured I should try broadening my horizons. Tell me if you think I should go back to my old style, please!

A passing shadow A summer breeze Bearing a dandelion seed But this seed won't take root It follows the wind Just follow the wind

A fleeting swallow Sleek and blue All across the sky it flew No place to go no where to be It followed the wind Just follow the wind

A stubborn girl With a mind of her own A dozen different ways is torn She leaves her senses and follows her heart And the wind She follows the wind Just follow the wind
